The Opener: Valdez, Pagan,
Briefly

The Opener: Valdez, Pagan,
"The Cubs walked off the Reds for the second straight game on Tuesday. Chicago has won seven in a row, and the streak is even longer at home."
"Valdez claimed innocence afterward, but few were convinced. 'It's pretty indisputable,' Story told reporters. 'We play a really good brand of baseball here,' Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said."
"Pagan had to be carted off the field. He's headed to the injured list, per C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic."
"The Marlins DFAed veteran righty Chris Paddack on Tuesday. He was hammered for seven earned runs in 2 2/3 innings over the weekend, pushing his ERA above 7.00."
The Cubs secured a walk-off victory against the Reds for the second consecutive game, marking their seventh straight win overall. Their home winning streak is even more impressive, as they have not lost at Wrigley Field since April 11 against the Pirates. In other news, Tigers pitcher Framber Valdez faced controversy after hitting Trevor Story following back-to-back home runs. Reds closer Emilio Pagan suffered a leg injury and will be placed on the injured list. The Marlins designated Chris Paddack for assignment after a poor performance.
